You are the boss of your healing and you know the best when it's time to bring things up. You're not ready now but it doesn't mean you never will be. I'm sure you'll get there. You said you're totally lost about that part of your past, you can't make any sense of it, but you know what. I think...

Hey @Sweetleaf, I understand what you are going through. I often feel like what happened to me doesn't count or is not that bad and probably happens in most families. According to my therapist very many people who have been abused struggle with those feelings. I've read a lot of materials on...

That's a lot like me. I avoid people, avoid talking about myself and because of that I don't have close friends. Even when I know that person has good intentions I can't open up. I don't really have any advice, but thank you for starting that thread and all helpful responses.

When breathing exercises are finally working :)

@lonelyone82, it is such a horrible story. I am sorry it happened. I think, no matter how old you are, that it is never too late to get help and fight for yourself. You have been through a lot, but you are motivated and taking good steps towards reclaiming your life. I wish you the best in...

I would love to throw my to the ocean, just stand on the beach and throw it as far as I can. Same as @Zoogal I enjoy all features except for calls.

Hi, I am sorry about what was done to you. It's good you found the forum and are getting therapy - congratulations. Welcome to the forum, it's nice to meet you.

Hi, I understand you, my father used to spy on me through the window when i was showering and it made me really scared of taking showers. When there's a window in the bathroom I always cover It, hang a towel over it or something like that. Now my bathroom does not have a window and it makes a...

Hi, It is not fair that you have to pretend to be someone you're not. It's not fair that you have to hide your emotions and symptoms to not "disturb" people around you. You are not here to make people comfortable. You have the right to tell the truth about what happened to you, and you're not...

Cute dinosaur keeps you very confused This game is fun :) Ptsdjb

My family... Conflicts and confrontations Meeting new people

Hi, I'm sorry about what happened to you. If what you said about your Mom's boyfriend was known to her back then, she knowingly put you in danger and that's abuse/neglect too. I agree with @EveHarrington that things you have described are sexual abuse on its own and may have caused your...

Very funny random texts, yet understandandable Hdibgp

Big thank you to everyone working on this site. Your work means a lot.

So cute! <3

Hi, it is a thing for me. I also have a sexual trauma from my childhood years. I have nightmares with my abuser breaking into my apartment, which never happened. I actually never had a dream which would ideally replicate what happened. What my nightmares and abuse have in common is how they...

I don't really have any answers sadly, but I can tell you what my therapist said classifies as a traumatic event, I hope that helps. So according to her definition, trauma is the situation which overwhelmed a person's ability to cope. That means it could be a variety of situations - maybe...

I guess it could be something like it. I never did selfharm in real life, maybe it's acting out in my head. I'll let you know what T says. Thanks @Still Standing, it's good you're past that.

Thanks @CaraG for sharing. I'm glad it's not a frequent thing for you. For me they come in waves, so sometimes I get them often and then they go away. I do have a therapist and I've been thinking about bringing it up, I guess I'll just do it next time.

Hi I'm coming here with a strange problem. I wanna just say upfront that I am not suicidal, I do not want or plan on hurting myself either. But lately I've been having some thoughts/fantasies that make me worry. In those fantasies I am being severely injured with a weapon. So for instance I...
